Because of the durability of earthenware, pottery, many of those made by the ancient Greeks have been uncovered, usually in fragments, but some as entire pieces. From very early time, the ancient Greeks would decorate their pottery, painting scenes, deities, myths, geometric designs, and the like on them. These designs help identify not only the period, but also the locale when the pottery was made—as cities, districts, and the like each had its own style and preference. The vases represented here are Corinthian vases, from Corinth in central Greece. Vases are also often identified by the color of their figures - red figure and black figure. The Corinthians developed the black figure vase. Caere (present-day Cerveteri) was an Etruscan town, to the north of Rome. The height of Etruscan power predated that of Roman, and the Etruscans traded with the Greeks. The illustration dates to 1884.
